Installation
16. Double check to make sure the saddle slot is free of debris
and that the pickup is fully seated along it entire length.
Insert the saddle into the slot in the proper orientation and
temporarily tape it in place.
17. Use a cable clip to secure the excess lead wire from the
pickup to the bottom of the bridge plate. This will prevent
any extraneous noises from being generated by the
loose lead.
18. Install a fresh set of strings. Before you are completely up
to pitch, pull firmly back and down on the saddle to help
seat it fully in the slot. Finish tuning, seat the saddle one
additional time, install two AA batteries, plug in to a good
system and check it out. Any remaining string balance
problems can usually be corrected by tapping on the
front side of the saddle (after first unplugging, of course)
using a wooden dowel and a small hammer.
19. If desired, you can make adjustments to the tonal balance
by adjusting the Bass and/or Treble controls. Install your
home-made preamp insertion tool then remove the endpin
strap button and nut and washer. Slowly slide the preamp
forward, into view of the sound hole, being careful not
to tug the pickup cable. Use a small screwdriver to adjust
the appropriate trim pot. Re-install the endpin jack and play.
